Making such a frontend for remark42 with complete server-side rendering should be possible. In fact, even now the backend doing a lot of this, for example comments preview rendered this way.

I meant server-side rendering for the web. Remark42 exposing all functionality via API and any alternative frontend can be made. I know someone doing android SDK for this. Not sure about ios side.

Not questioning your decision at all, but can you explain the whole thought process which led you to the conclusion that it is a better fit?
